A Narrow Escape.

There came very near being 6 first class funeral Sunday. IL seems that Mir. Wm. Zeckendorf has one of those electric coal oil lamps in his room. and when he retired Saturday night put the lamp out, ss be supposed, and being somewhat tired immediately feli asleep. He had probably been asleep an hour or % when he vas awakened by cough ing and a feeling of suffocstion, and upon lighting a candle found the room just blsok with smoke from the lamp. in e few moments more he probably would have been insensIble and death would hsve followed in q short time. The funny part of the whole thing was when the Chinsmsa came in the morn ing 10 do the chamber work, Nr. Zeck- endorf vas still in bed. The Ohinamsn took one look st him and rushed over to Mir. Steinfeld's sud stg linen by say ing. "Mr. Zeokendor veliy siokl Him going 10 die!' ems thst his fsce was entirely sovsrVd with the soot, and be WAS as black ss the ace of spades. In the future, Ar. Zeckendorf will be careful to see that the lamp Is out be- fore retiring.

An Ingenious Doll.

Almost charming feature Of the study
Of dolls in all lands is the satisfaction
which little girls take in dressing up n
stick, clothes-pin. bundle Of rags. or
some other Insignificant object. End
calling it . doll. There are many
things about these little motherly
creatures to admire. but none more
than their makeshifts at happiness. the
ways in which they set themselves to
work in childhood to be pleased with
the semblance when the reality is de-
MED.
To illustrate: Once upon . time
there was an old Innuit (Eskimo) fish
erman who thought that seals would
come into his net il he would make a
float of driftwood in the image Of n
seal. This he did. One day he missed
his float and looked everywhere. but
could not find it. At last he spied his
little daughter playing with an unusu-
ally large doll. and on examining it
found that she had made . doll Of his
float. Two large beads served for eyes.
. string of beads for n necklace. and
some shells took the place Of earrings.
For a garment she had utilized a large
strip Of brown cotton cloth procured
from the traders Frequently bits Of
wood take the place Of dolls and are
wrapped in mats or fur.--WSde Ascake.
